Plant guy knows how much spouse loves blooming plants so he gave me this Angel Wing begonia for him.

She then insisted on doing a screen for protein because I said our diet is mostly plant based. Note, it was just for him not me. Test came back fine.

I have always wanted to do that. And again this AM I had the walk signal but right turn on red dude never looked for pedestrians. I am doing all y’all drivers a favor by not driving!

Dr. After I mention we like to go to the zoo: So, are you upset about the new parking fee?

Me: I never drive up there. Drivers should pay for the privilege to park there and I should get a discount on my membership for not needing parking.

Dr: 🦗🦗🦗

Sure does! When spouse stayed back in KS to work he moved a rowing machine into the living room. (I highly recommend separate houses lol. )

I dated a guy in college 6’4 160. (We were the Odd couple) Rowed for Cal.

This this this. I am at opposite end borderline underweight but this is how we are built in my family.

Dr Compact Housedwarf @cpthousedwarf.bsky.social · 16h

It’s nonsense. No accounting for muscle mass. Especially for athletes. My dad was a climbing/ITT specialist and was same weight/height as spouse when in racing form, so skinny. (Built like Chris Froome) Spouse was a swimmer up until few years ago, same height/weight as Mark effing Spitz.

She implied I wasn’t feeding him enough. “Is he on the same diet as you?” (I have dietary restrictions)
No he is not and I have to watch him eat stuff I can’t. We are both skinny, lady, if you haven’t noticed.

Just love clouds and blue sky!

I don’t think I have ever screamed that loud. Scared the driver, as well it should. He thought he’d run over my foot (almost did) so he stopped to make sure I was ok. But geez

OMG a car almost hit me in a crosswalk, like close enough for me to scream and now I am shaking. Almost ran over my toes. 16th and J. I was there first.

Dr to the spouse: You seem thin. What did you weigh in high school?
Spouse: gives lower number than he weighs now, names sport he was in.
Dr: OK I guess a BMI of 22 is ok.

WTF I though 22 was good and BMI is bogus anyway.

Whelp. Getting out the puffy vest for the wait at the bus stop. #SanDiegoWeather

Thanks for the warning. That’s a big nope for us, too.

May she RIP. The most interesting person.

Toggling to football and screaming about a Chiefs touchdown.

My watch telling me I am in a loud environment because I was screaming about Arozarena scoring off that Polanco hit.

But I saw Arozarena steal two bases and score!

Dr Compact Housedwarf @cpthousedwarf.bsky.social · 1d

I missed it! Toggling between sports.

We started going there every summer in 2009. It’s my vibe, I love it there, but I need more sun. Have a kid that lives there, tho.

I miss Portland so much.

Emergency Naked Bike Ride during our first week of rains.
“We’re cold, but not as cold as ICE.”

Portland cyclists strip down in pouring rain to protest ICE facility and Trump troop deployment

Expecting a grandchild way back in 2012, there was a measles and pertussis outbreak in Europe where we were headed for work. Asked for the MMR and TDaP: gave it to us no questions even though we were old. Didn’t even ask us to get immunity checked. CVS and others have these vaccines now.

Dr Compact Housedwarf @cpthousedwarf.bsky.social · 2d

Totally agree.
